Whisper Wind Song Tyrese Gould Jacinto

Do you love to sing but just cannot? Do you get upset because you cannot do what you think you like? Have you often wondered why you were not able to carry a tune, although you love to sing so much? Maybe, just maybe, you were not meant to sing. Now what? How do you handle this realization? For one little Lenape girl and her incredible story of wisdom, we will all learn a great lesson. Luckily for Kaliya, she never got discouraged at the fact that she could not sing. Her Dad always encouraged her to do what she likes, even if it is not something that she will ever be okay. This story tells of wisdom of an ancient culture, the Nanticoke Lenni Lenape of New Jersey. Kaliya lived in the Cohanzick Lenape village in the place that we now call New Jersey. Her home was right along the Cohanzick river situated between the bay and streams. Join us in this journey of the past that brings your imagination through time as though you are living in a Lenape village hundreds of years ago before the Natives discovered the Europeans that came ashore. The illustrations of this book are incredible, and the artist intrigues each page with amazing details.
